Synopsis
1989. Marysia is a single mother to her son Darek, who is on the spectrum. Darek is expelled from school as nothing was done at the time to help integrate disabled pupils. Marysia then moves heaven and earth for her son to receive an academic education and to bring about far-reaching change. This moving and engaged film is also interspersed by humour.
